Hi Adam,

Thanks for your kind response.
I am looking an webinterface  like gui-cyradm or any other which can
allow the admin to create/delete account and domain from a web
interface. The problem is I have not found anything which can work based
on openldap. Even gui-cyradm need mysql for user authentication.
Could you kindly suggest anything ?
thanks
